How is the inheritance divided among: one full brother, one daughter, and one full sister?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The daughter inherits one-half as a prescribed share (fard), based on the Almighty’s saying: "And if there is only one, she will have one-half." The full brother and full sister inherit the remainder by way of residuary inheritance (ta'sib), with the male receiving the equivalent of the share of two females, based on the Almighty’s saying: "And if they are brothers and sisters, male and female, then for the male is the share of two females." The estate is divided into six shares: three shares for the daughter, two shares for the full brother, and one share for the full sister.
